Shure SM58

The Shure SM58 is one of the most popular mics for a reason—it’s durable and it just works. I like it because it gives a warm, clear sound and focuses on the midrange, which is great for vocals. It’s also cardioid, so it helps keep extra room noise out of your recording.

Pros

+Warm, clear vocal tone with strong midrange focus
+Great feedback rejection for live sound
+Very durable and reliable
+Cardioid pattern rejects side/rear noise

Cons

-Not as detailed/airy as a condenser mic for studio vocals
-May need more gain from your interface/preamp
